"Heh, at least you haven't forgotten me." The handsome man in fiery red robes grinned before looking him up and down. "You have completely changed, man. You were just a naive kid back then, but now… you have become a confident man. Not bad. I knew you were something when I saw you. That's why I tried to motivate you."
"…"
Max stared at him, speechless.
After a moment, he said, "I have to say the same to you. You have completely changed too. Back then, although you were arrogant and acted as though everyone was beneath you, at least you weren't shameless, but now…"
He shook his head while saying this.
This man was none other than Aaron, the arrogant prince who had mocked him in the Crimson Monarch's Legacy trials.
The corner of Aaron's lips twitched when he heard this and hurriedly looked behind him. Seeing his junior brother and sister weren't here yet and therefore hadn't heard him, he sighed in relief.
